It's a kind of a coding competition, indeed. The goals and the circumstances differ from a hackathon. The demoscene events are not for coding, although I'm sure it happens, but rather for showing off the work that was prepared bef

I looked at random, recent printed media around me, and it's all still justified. On displays, readability works out differently, and that's why I speculate this has changed. For example, printed media uses serif fonts to aid read

I have not taken a typography class, but norm seems to be context dependent. On the internet, unjustified seems to be the norm, looking at the random high-traffic websites I visited. Printed media is another beast though. I picked up a rand

Justified, in general, looks neater, is more formal, but is a bit more harder to read as well. I personally have no issue with it either way, but to tell you the truth, from a quick check I could not find any website that uses justified tex

Do you know what aliasing is in a game? When the edges are too sharp? They can look okay in a still image, but they are really noticeable when things are in motion. Another such example is the moire effect. Moire is very noticeable in still

Balatro as well, I think. Luck there is a huge factor, and it's honest about it from the get-go.

Yes, this really depends on what one's expectations are of a "game". Luck, as a component, is often contested. In case of the minesweeper, I'd argue there is either A) No place for luck at all, either by making the game

Hell yes we can! I wish to ban all advertisements from them, for starters.

The differentiator is that locally, you can use abliterated models - models where they undid the guardrails.

Sure thing. For example, my plants were always dying. I hated that, and I hated facing my inability every time I interacted with them (granted, there weren't many in the first place). I hated to touch soil and the general mess that hap

IntelliJ IDEA Community version is also free for commercial use, it's Apache 2.0 licensed even (mostly).

I needed to pick up Ruby for a two year job, and RubyMine made my Ruby learning so much fun. I really appreciated the clever autocomplete and especially the suggestions. It would give recommendations like "this works, but it's not

That's cool! They rarely come with them though these days. I have taken a quick look at two large webshops of my location: one had 1200 machines with 0 of them having an optical drive, and the other had 5500 machines, with 2 of them ha

Yeah, I agree with you. I handwaved micro-transactions away too much, because of what an easy time I have with them. But I truly dislike them as well, especially for the exploitation factor. To rephrase what I originally wanted to say: &quo

Of course. Physical media is long out. What was the last time you saw a laptop with a DVD drive? On PC especially, online is first. Games come with update managers, "launchers", and that's the absolute standard - publishers e

We are "throwing out" outdated parts of culture, and for one, I'm mostly indifferent to that. For one, because I'm sure that there will be people who dislike this and try to preserve it, and so, it won't be all be l

Because it's not understanding, which would imply an objective truth, but a subjective experience. I personally have great appreciation to music and games, but really dislike physical media at the same time. The way I like to experienc

by npteljes 1y ago
That's a flawed premise, as games totally don't suck today. There are so many to choose from, and people create new ones all the time, experiences where you can clearly feel that they poured their hearts and sweat into it. For me,

That's a valid reason not to subscribe to his channel, but not a reason to dismiss the point just because the discussion started from a video of his.

I'd still consider it hoarding. Depending on how old they are, phones have diminishing network compatibility, and cheap, dumb devices are in production still, and will be for the indefinite future. So it's not like they are a reso

When I was doing a similar schedule, it was a failure of introspection, and a mounting number of unprocessed emotional issues, and unconfronted personal problems. The way I got over it is that I have started realizing, confronting, communic

Of course. A message queue is database, and software that handles it in a specific way to make it a message queue. So, HN could basically be that database backend for that imaginary software that turns it into a message queue. I don't

Heh, I feel this in me as well. When I like driving but hate the traffic. Although, much of the slop problem is due to lack of consent. Same as how my youtube video to me is entertainment, and noise for the rest of the passengers.

I think those were thought through, even maybe the specific concerns that your bring up - and then a conscious decision was made to not give a fuck about those concerns. I don't think it's stupidity, or shortsightedness, or ignora

Unfortunately that's just a single good experience. (Unfortunately overall, not for you! I'm happy that your experience was so good.) Psych drugs (and many other drugs) are regularly overprescribed. Here is just one documented exa

You might not care personally, but this isn't how we do anything, because we wouldn't have anything in the world at all. Different things harm and kill people all the time, and many of them have barely any use than harmful activit

Yeah, I was one such person, but I might give up on this ultimately. If I will, I will do so for CYA reasons, not because I think it's a bad thing overall. In this current case, the outcome is horrible, and the answers that ChatGPT pro

You know what? This time, you bring up statistics. You claim that Singapore effectively eliminated scams, so, show it then. Or have your point be moot.
